☆ Far-right riots erupt in U.K. in the wake of child murders
  + stars: | 2024-08-04 | by ( Freddie Clayton | Freddie Clayton Is A Freelance Journalist Based In London. | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +5 min
One police officer in the city was hit on the head with a chair and another kicked and knocked off his motorcycle. The police force responsible for the region has confirmed that two officers were taken to the hospital with injuries. Police officers face off with protesters during a far-right demonstration in Bristol, England. The latest demonstrations puncture any idea that Starmer’s center-left government has evaded an ascendant hard-right movement that continues to rise on the continent. Behind his majority, there remains an angry and active far-right undercurrent that continues to make itself heard.

Almost 40 police officers were injured in the northwestern English town of Southport on Tuesday evening after a day of mourning for children killed in a stabbing attack was disrupted by far-right protesters. A large group that the police say included supporters of the English Defence League, a far-right extremist organization, began attacking a mosque in Southport on Tuesday evening, according to a statement from the Merseyside Police Service, which covers the region. Officials said that the targeting of the mosque and the ensuing riot appeared to be linked to online disinformation about the stabbing on Monday, when an attacker killed three children and injured eight other children and two adults at a dance class in Southport. The police on Monday arrested a 17-year-old who was born in Cardiff, Wales, on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. In line with British law regarding minors, the police did not identify the suspect, and subsequently they warned that a name being circulated on social media was incorrect.

☆ Fact Check: Protester with swastika tattoo photo taken in 2016

A photo of a far-right protester with a swastika tattoo was captured in the north of England in 2016, not at counter-protests to a pro-Palestinian demo in London on Nov. 11, 2023, despite online accounts making that assertion. Police arrested more than 120 people on Nov. 11 after far-right counter protesters attempted to ambush a pro-Palestinian rally in central London that drew 300,000 demonstrators. One social media user sharing the photo on Facebook (archived) wrote: “English Defence League demonstrator at Saturdays March showing off his swastika tattoo whilst wearing a poppy. These people are that thick that irony is lost on them and I’m stuck for words.”Users of messaging platform X (archived), formerly known as Twitter, also shared the photo as if from the Nov. 11 protest. However, the photo was taken on Nov. 26, 2016 at an anti-Mosque demonstration in Bolton, Greater Manchester, according to the photojournalist who took the image.

☆ Huge crowds expected for London pro-Palestinian rally, police gear for trouble

Demonstrators protest in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, in London, Britain, October 21, 2023. "I do believe if the groups come together, there will be serious disorder," said Deputy Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor, the officer in charge. "The policing operation this weekend is huge," he told reporters, saying it would be "challenging and tense". There has been strong support and sympathy for Israel from Western governments, including Britain's, and many citizens over the Hamas attacks. But the Israeli response has also prompted anger, with weekly protests in London demanding a ceasefire.
